BEST IN HIS CLASS

Stereotypes. PFF had him ranked #1 in accuracy last season and people still think he’s in his 2016 season

Exactly right.

Another Homer, lets see
Goff got his team to the SB, Wentz had MVP season and has a SB ring, Dak has not even sniffed a championship game, and any homer blowing of his horn is a joke at this point,5 years nothing to show. Hope the buyers learn a lesson about paying these guys elite $$$$.

I said after he was drafted and every day since that Dak was the best QB in that 2016 draft class.

Give this man a healthy line and a decent defense PLEASE.

Well you have some on here wanting to help load the Uhaul truck for him to get out of town.

Pay an average QB like Dak, you'll have a Goff/Wentz situation a couple years later. He's Goff without the accuracy, just not very good.

Goff doesn’t have accuracy lol......

If Goff got his team to the Super Bowl why did the Rams just trade him lol?

Better to be lucky than good. Jerry wanted Lynch and Cook and “settled” for Dak

Ah cool..

I guess the bish better have my money part was about being the most accomplished QB in his class. My bad.

The “bish better have my money” actually was about him being the best out of that class. The point was he is the only one earning his keep. It was also just colorful language used to get attention.

Stats don’t back up the notion Goff is more accurate.

1st and 2nd picks at turning points in their NFL carèers.
1. Jared Goff
2. Carson Wentz
3. Joey Bosa
4. Ezekiel Elliott
5. Jalen Ramsey

Looking around at all these bad QB contracts just makes me think wow.. You gotta pay Dak.

1) Don’t remember exactly but Goff’s best years seemed to be when he had an excellent OL and could just feed Gurley. OL becomes not as good, Gurley’s knee is shot, and Goff is expected to carry team. Goff clearly can’t carry the Rams. I doubt Goff can carry any team. Turns out Goff is just average with average players around him. A good bus driver with an all-star cast and McVay calling the shots. Paying $32M+ for that is a huge learning mistake.

2) Wentz was a small-school gamble and lucked out going to a good Eagle team. Showed flashes and at his ‘peak’ tore his ACL. Eagles won without him which was a huge red flag ignored by the Eagles. Eagle’s OL and both WR and TE corps fell apart this year. Wentz definitely could not carry that team. Can Wentz carry a team? Probably not. Can Wentz drive a bus of loaded talent? Probably but the cap doesn’t allow for $30M+ bus drivers. Eagles’ drafts have been plain awful recently. Had the Eagles drafted Metcalf and Jefferson over Arcega-Whiteside and Reagor then Wentz probably has a good year.

My main takeaway from Goff, Wentz, and Dak is that all three are bus drivers. Surround any of the three with an all-star cast and they will succeed. None of three are exceptional. None can carry a team. The Cowboys are at the same fork in the road the Eagles and Rams guessed wrong and grossly overpaid which now hamstrings future team’s competitiveness. There is no way Dak or the Cowboys can be successful and competitive paying Dak $35-40M/year.

Dak, which is more important? Winning a SB making $25M plus $10M in endorsements or just making $35M plus $7M in endorsements and never coming close to a SB? Comes down to greed over team.

Most definitely.....its proof that its tough to find a good QB in this league even if you have the 1st and 2nd overall picks.......you get lucky to find one in the 4th round........better hold on to him.

Yeah that's a myth that Eagles fans like to bring up so when I hear people on this site say that I know they are really Eagles fans pretending to be Cowboy fans.....

Not a good QB class overall & we got the 4th pick. What a lot of people leave out of the Dak discussion is that Wentz & Goff both had around $27m rookie contracts that they've already cashed in on. In other words they've already been paid almost $25m more than Dak.

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA

Casual fan alert! Casual fan alert!

You know I thought coming out of college Conner Cook would’ve been a good starting qb

then i was shocked the Raiders took him when they had Derek Carr

now i dont even know where cook is
